Comfortable and Seamless Trip to Jinshanling with Bentley from Leo’s Private Tour
We were picked up by Bentley, a driver from Leo’s Private Tour, at the agreed time and place and driven to the Great Wall. Bentley got us out of the big city quickly and comfortably, and the drive to the Wall went according to plan. Upon arrival, we were taken through the security check and driven all the way up to the cable car. Bentley arranged the entrance tickets and cable car tickets while we were served coffee as we waited. The walk on the Wall was amazing, and Jinshanling was pleasantly free of large crowds of tourists — we reached the top around 11 AM on a rainy Sunday, but the rain held off while we were up on the Wall. Bentley was waiting for us and drove us just as comfortably and efficiently back to the hotel in his clean and tidy car.

Amazing tour!
My driver Mr.Ping from Leo’s private tour was amazing. He picked me up on time, gave me a lot of informations about the history of the Great Wall, helped me to find some paintings for my family and spoke really good English. He took so many pictures of me and even took an hour of his time to make a video of my Great Wall tour. I would definitely recommend to visit the Jinshanling Great Wall for its lack of crowds and beautiful sceneries. Thank you Mr Ping for the wonderful time at Jinshanling Great wall. I will definitely come back with my boyfriend in a few years and a tour with your company for the Jinshanling section.

Fantastic tour company in Beijing!
Absolutely fantastic service from Leo’s Guide & Driver service. The company arranged airport transfers and a three day itinerary in Beijing. All drivers were friendly and the cars clean and comfortable. The highlight for us was Jenny, our lovely tour guide. Jenny was extremely knowledgable, kind and friendly. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use this company again.

Worth the travel time
We selected this tour because we wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the closer sections of the wall. They picked us up at our hotel in Beijing which was very convenient. The drive to Jinshanling was about 2 hours but very scenic. Our guide, Cactus, was super knowledgeable and kind. She kept us on pace and helped us take some great pictures. We went in the afternoon and the weather was pretty hot. It ended up being a decent workout, although we could have taken an easier route up. I highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jinshanling Great Wall Private Hiking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
